DIY: Make a 3D Printer To Create Real Objects in 3D

Do you want to create real objects in 3D? Here is a high-speed 3D printer design to make this possible.

The real world around exists in three dimensions, and we also see the world in 3D. Personalization is becoming more and more important in our lives. Imagine customized phone cases, customized rings, customized toys, puzzles, home decor and many more things designed exactly as per your taste. You can take a high-accuracy 3D image of the ring finger and design a ring that fits perfectly, and then use a 3D printer at a nearby store or at home to make the ring.

TI offers a 3D printer reference design that realises these possibilities. It is built around TI’ DLP 3D Structured Light Software Development Kit (SDK) and enables developers to build best-in-class resolution 3D objects. The design uses stereo-lithography technique popular in high accuracy and high-speed 3D printing.
